If we put coca-cola into our car's gasoline tank, it’s not going to run very well. Correspondingly, what we choose to allow into our mind, heart and body directly effects the state of our mind, heart and body. If we constantly fill our mind with negative, violent, depressing, petty or irreverent content from tv shows, the news, movies, music, books, the internet, and other people, this is the fuel our mind is running on. Why then should we be surprised if our mind is filled with fear, anger, apathy, distrust, jealousy, violence, sadness, etc?
If we constantly fill our bodies with junk, why then should we be surprised if our bodies always feel tired, stiff, painful and riddled with disease?
If we constantly fill our hearts with negative beliefs and self-talk, if we don’t take the time to work on our own self healing, if we won’t let love in, why then should we be surprised if our hearts feel depressed, scared, and lonely?
It is up to us. What do we choose to allow into our mind, heart and body?
If you feel any of the above symptoms, I’d like to suggest a research experiment:
ONE WEEK
1)
Remove all external content that is filled with any form of negativity or irreverence. That includes movies, tv shows, music, the news, books, Youtube, social media, podcasts, commentary from other people, you name it. 1 for 1, replace it with only positive and inspiring content.
2)
Every time a negative thought arises in your mind, replace it with a positive thought. Maybe one of gratitude. Maybe find something, anything positive about that person you love to hate, especially if that person is yourself. You may not FEEL or BELIEVE the positive thought at first, but allow yourself to entertain it anyway; let it start as an intellectual exercise.
3)
Remove at least half, if not all of the low quality food and drink that you put into your body. Maybe the fast food, or excessive sugar, or caffeine, nicotine, or other drugs? Replace it 1 for 1 with natural, whole-foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, green juice, water, etc.
See how you feel, then adjust your input criteria accordingly.
Input directly effects output. Output directly effects input. In an endless loop.
Let’s choose what we let into our life so that we can better choose what we put out into the world.
Wishing you health, love + peace…
Aloha, Wade.
